I build safe tech that everyone could use

Research Areas:
Responsible AI, Online Safety, HCI, Recommender Systems

I am an Assistant Professor at Arizona State University in the Human Systems Engineering program. I am driven by a passion to build safe technology through knowledge creation about the harm that persists because of AI while actively engaging in foundational research to create protective mechanisms through design and governance. As such, my research weaves together strings from Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Artificial Intelligence to highlight opportunities for fairness, transparency, and justice online. I was previously a Post Doctoral Researcher in the FATE group (Fairness, Accountability, Transparency, and Ethics in AI) at Microsoft Research NYC. Before joining MSR, I earned my PhD at Clemson University in the Human-Centered Computing program while being advised by Dr. Bart Knijnenburg. During my time at Clemson University, I collaborated with researchers from IBM Research, NortonLifeLock Research Labs (formerly Symantec), Max Planck Institute, and others. I am thankful to have been funded throughout my studies through fellowships from both Meta (formerly Facebook) and Google.​​

I am currently recruiting PhD students. If you are a prospective PhD student, current ASU student (at any level) or potential collaborator, please see more details on the advising page.
